His comment has generated ripple effects across social media as Nigerians shared their views.
One man who also spoke is @onlinebanker, who creates content around finance and the economy on TikTok.
He acknowledged that Nigeria has a lot of problems, but also warned that American military boots in Nigeria have serious consequences.
"This is not good. It is not good at all. Why is that not good? Calm down, let me explain. Nigeria has deep problems: corruption, infrastructure, and religious extremism, which is what President Trump was talking about. But sending down US troops to Nigeria, I don't agree. Let us use our neighbours, Libya. Libya is just two countries away from Nigeria. When there was the whole civil war in Libya, they suspended the stock market. The economy collapsed and they lost their GDP. Their GDP went from $75 billion to $35 billion. Check every country that there has been an intervention, and check what happened to their GDP. Check what happened to the economy. It shrank. It is simply because foreign investors will not want to put their money where they feel there is a military confrontation."
The man insists that leaders must look for a diplomatic way to handle the situation.
